From  the  first  report  of  The  Association  of  Pioneer  Women  of 
California  : 

Mrs.  Tirza  J.  Wear  Martin,  President. 

Pursuant  to  a  call  from  Mrs.  Martin  through  the  daily  papers  of 
San  Francisco,  August  12,  1900,  seven  ladies  met  at  Pioneer  Hall, 
Fourth  Street,  San  Francisco,  on  the  28th  day  of  August,  and  signified 
their  intention  of  organizing  an  Association  of  Pioneer  Women  of 
California,  which  they  did  on  that  date.  These  ladies  were  Mrs. 
Tirza  J.   Wear   Martin,    Mrs.   Ann   Fassett   Germain,   Mrs.    Margaret 

F.  McCormick,  Mrs.  A.  B.  WharflF  Huntington,  Mrs.  E.  P.  Thorndyke, 
Mrs.  Mary  A.  McGiveney,  Mrs.  Sarah  A.  Whidden,  who  each  con- 
tributed one  dollar  to  the  treasury.  The  meeting  was  called  to  order 
and  the  following  officers  were  elected :  Mrs.  Martin,  President ;  Mrs. 
Germain,  Secretary;   Mrs.  Thorndyke,  Treasurer. 

.  On  September  1,  1900,  the  organization  was  completed.     Mrs.  Ger- 
main, on  account  of  illness,  resigned  as  Secretary  and  Mrs.  Angeline 

G.  Gardner  was  appointed  Secretary  pro  tern.  When  new  business  was 
in  order  Mrs.  Louise  S.  Chase  was  duly  elected  Secretary. 

On  September  10  and  11,  1900,  receptions  were  held  at  Red  Men's 
Hall,  Post  Street,  to  celebrate  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  admission 
of  California  as  a  State.  Among  the  many  guests  were  the  Historical 
Committee  of  the  Pioneers  of  California;  delegates  from  the  various 
parlors  of  Native  Sons  and  Daughters,  and  Mrs.  Mary  Davis  Bucknall, 
the  lady  who  represented  California  in  the  first  Fourth  of  July  cele- 
bration after  the  admission  of  California  into  the  Union  as  a  State. 

A  Constitution  and  By-Laws  were  prepared  and  accepted  in  1900 
and  amended  in  1901  and  1903.  These,  and  all  records  in  the  keeping  of 
the  Secretary,  also  the  Articles  of  Incorporation,  obtained  March  7, 
1901,  were  destroyed  in  the  fire  of  April  18, 1906.  A  copy  of  the  Articles 
of  Incorporation  was  obtained  from  the  State,  October  29,  1906.  The 
Constitution  and  By-Laws,  with  changes  inserted  as  read,  were  adopted 
February  7,  1908. 

The  Association  of  Pioneer  Women  of  California  now  stands 
ready  to  welcome  to  its  ranks  all  eligible  pioneer  women  and  the 
female  descendants  of  pioneer  parents  who  arrived  in  California  prior 
to  and  including  the  thirty-first  day  of  December,  1853.

Conscious  of  the  dignity  of  the  part  which  Providence  as- 
signs to  women  in  determining  the  character  of  any  State 
or  people,  and  believing  that  by  publicly  uniting  forces  we 
can  more  successfully  accomplish  the  high  duties  devolving 
upon  us  by  reason  of  that  natural  endowment,  we  organize 
to  that  end,  under  the  following  Constitution :
